Fang Huaizhi was anxious: "What's going on? Mr. Li can only go in alone?"
Mr. Guo turned around and was about to leave. Hearing this, he turned back to look at Fang Huaizhi and scanned the crowd: "Why, is it possible that you all want to see Zhen'er?"
"That's natural!" Fang Huaizhi shouted with a blushing face. He was really anxious. He was overjoyed and was about to meet the world-famous prostitute, but he didn't want to cause trouble, so he poured a basin of cold water on her.
Mr. Guo smiled and said: "Okay, if any of you want to go in, just compete with me. If you win, I can go, no matter how many people there are."
"We are no match for you!" Fang Huaizhi said angrily.
Mr. Guo shook his head: "I'm sorry, you can't beat me, and you can't see Zhen'er."
"You..." Fang Huaizhi was about to shout, but was pulled behind him by Fang Huaiyi.
Fang Huaiyi stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said with a smile: "Mr. Guo, you can't be accommodating. We and Mr. Li are companions, we advance and retreat together. If we want to get a chance to meet the girl, I hope it will be convenient for Mr. Guo."
Mr. Guo shook his head: "It's not my convenience. The rules are set by Zhen'er and I can't violate them. How about I go in and ask."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Guo." Fang Huaiyi nodded hurriedly.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "If Miss Zhen'er refuses, then I won't go in. We all came together. I can't eat alone and feel uneasy."
"Haha, what a good boy, you have the guts!" Mr. Guo smiled and gave a thumbs up. Xie Zhen'er's name is the most tempting, and it is not easy to hold on.
"I hope Mr. Guo can give me some kind words." Li Muchan said with a smile.
The two of them didn't know each other without fighting. After the previous confrontation, they had a common feeling of heroes cherishing heroes, and they became a little closer.
Guo Laodao: "Okay, I don't count. It's up to Zhen'er to decide what happens. You guys wait a moment."
He turned around and slowly entered the Moon Gate and disappeared.
Fang Huaiyi said: "Sir, you shouldn't be like this. Even if we can't see you, you should still go in and have a look, or come out and talk to us."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "No matter how famous you are, you are just a woman. Is it possible that you are more beautiful than Concubine Xue?"
Fang Huaiyi laughed: "That's true, I guess the beauty can't be compared to the eldest sister."
Fang Huaizhi hummed: "I don't think so. Although the eldest sister is beautiful, she has a terrible temper and is a cold beauty. This Xie Zhen'er is said to be as gentle as water, beautiful and lively, and no man can resist it!"
"Third brother, please don't forget that this Xie Zhen'er is not a professional artist, so if you do meet her, don't do anything wrong!" Fang Huaiyi said solemnly.
"Second brother, of course I won't act recklessly in front of a beauty, don't worry!" Fang Huaizhi patted his chest.
"Hmph, your head is confused as soon as you see a beauty!" Fang Huaiyi shook his head and hummed: "This Xie Zhen'er is so beautiful but does not sell herself. It can be seen that she has a good background. I am afraid that you will be offended.
A powerful person, causing trouble for our Fang family!"
"I know!" Fang Huaizhi nodded impatiently.
***********************************************
"Haha, gentlemen, Zhen'er has invited you all to come in." Mr. Guo stood in the moon gate, waving and smiling: "She is rarely in a good mood today."
"Thank you, Mr. Guo!" Fang Huaiyi saluted, and everyone went over together. When they arrived at the Moon Gate, Mr. Guo led the way into a large courtyard.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, everyone seemed to be in another world. Everywhere they could see were bamboo forests, rockeries, clusters of tribes, and flowerbeds surrounding them. The scenery was beautiful and pleasant.
Li Muchan looked at it with his empty eyes and realized that this back garden was actually several miles wide. In such a busy city, it was an amazing display and a big deal.
"Follow me." Guo Lao said.
Everyone walked through the path through the bamboo forest, passed by rockeries, and walked around a few times. Suddenly, their eyes suddenly opened up. A circle of willow trees surrounded a lake, and the clear lake water reflected the moonlight and swayed slightly.
There are several small pavilions and water pavilions on the moonlit lake, which are brightly lit. The water pavilions and pavilions are connected by a corridor, and the lanterns on the corridor form a winding fire dragon.
A burst of cong-cong music came slowly, and the rhythm was soothing and calming.
Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew, and the sound of the piano came, accompanied by a faint fragrance. It was like falling into a dream, like a dream, like an illusion, like reality, but also false.
Guo Laofang walked lightly and led everyone to the lake and onto the corridor. The lanterns on the corridor reflected everyone's faces. They looked at each other and saw the excitement and curiosity in each other's eyes.
The sound of the piano gradually became louder, but the rhythm was still calm and soft. Listening to it became more and more peaceful, and their restless hearts actually calmed down, becoming peaceful and happy.
After passing through two small pavilions, they arrived at a waterside pavilion. Two young girls in green clothes stood outside the door with beautiful faces. They saw several people coming forward to greet them.
"Mr. Guo, are they them?" the round-faced girl asked crisply.
"Well, this Mr. Li is the real owner, and the others are his companions. I won't go in." Mr. Guo nodded and pointed at Li Muchan.
He added: "Mr. Li, I won't disturb your interest. If you have time, let's have a good discussion. You can come over during the day!"
Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I have the same intention, but I'm afraid of disturbing Mr. Guo."
"Why are you bothering me? I'm just here. I wish you could come. It's settled!" Guo Laoyi waved his hand and said with a smile.
Li Muchan nodded: "Okay, I will come and bother you another day."
Mr. Guo laughed, turned around and drifted away, disappearing deep into the dim bamboo forest at night in a blink of an eye.
"Young gentlemen, please come with your maid." The round-faced girl smiled softly, turned around and entered the waterside pavilion, and said in a loud voice: "Miss, the young gentlemen are here."
"Invite them to sit down and serve tea." A lazy and soft voice sounded slowly, and along with the sound of the piano, everyone felt that their hairs opened and their whole bodies felt as smooth as drinking mellow wine.
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows. What a powerful sound. Is this a natural sound or is there some secret technique in cultivation?
He didn't use the eyes of the void to watch, lest there be no surprises. He was secretly excited to see the world's number one courtesan. Even with Mei Ruolan, Su Yunyun, and Xue Fei, these unparalleled women, he still hadn't lost sight of her.
She has a beautiful heart and never loses interest in beautiful women.
"Yes." The round-faced girl responded in a low voice. She led the five people into the house and stepped on the snow-white carpet. In front of them was a picture of plum blossoms proud of the snow. There were only a few plum blossoms, the heavy snow was falling, and the aura of loneliness hit her face.
There are some futons and two low tables placed on the thick soft carpet, but nothing else. It is extremely simple, almost like a Zen room for practicing.
The round-faced girl smiled and said, "Young gentlemen, please sit down wherever you like. The lady is upstairs. She will come down to see you all after the song is played."
At this time, the girl with an oval-shaped face came in, carrying a purple lacquered round plate with six cups of tea on it. She placed them on two low tables respectively, and then left.
Everyone found a futon to sit down on and looked around the room.
There are paintings and calligraphy on all sides, some are calligraphy, some are scrolls, some are vigorous, some are desolate, some are unrestrained, some are bleak, each has its own style.
There are paintings of ladies, landscapes, and quiet contemplation paintings of plums, bamboos, orchids, birds, and fish.
Although the furnishings in the room are extremely simple, decorated with these paintings and calligraphy, it does not feel shabby. Everyone is sitting in it, with a faint fragrance floating in front of their noses, and the fragrance of tea curling up, all of which give it a sense of refinement.
"Zheng..." The sound of the piano suddenly rose and stopped suddenly. Everyone was shocked, as if their eyes lit up, they became energetic, and they felt like they were in a deep dream.
Fang Huaiyi and everyone showed admiration. Although they hadn't met Xie Zhen'er yet, they had already had an unusual experience, all of which were unique and unforgettable.
Li Muchan felt more and more that this woman was good, but she had no trace of martial arts.
The sound of footsteps came slowly. They all had internal strength and extraordinary hearing. They heard her light footsteps and walked slowly down the stairs.
Everyone stood up and looked over. In front of them was a stunning beauty who was both happy and angry, as delicate as water, lazily walking down with lotus steps.
Her shoulders are as sharp as a knife, and her waist is as thin as a willow. When she walks gracefully, it is like the breeze of a willow branch, giving people a feeling of fluttering.
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows, she was such a beauty, her beauty was not inferior to that of Concubine Xue, coupled with her lazy and charming style, she was so charming, no wonder she was called the number one courtesan in the world.
She crept downstairs, her bright eyes swept across everyone, and finally landed on Li Muchan's face. She smiled with a toothy smile on her lips: "I didn't expect that Mr. Li is so young, and Zhen'er is so rude."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I have heard about Miss Zhen'er's name for a long time, but now I see her, she is indeed well-deserved."
"Entertaining people with sound and sex is not a good name. Sir, don't try to offend the little girl. All gentlemen and seniors, please sit down." She stretched out her hands and said with a sweet smile.
When everyone was seated, she came to the front and sat on the futon. She glanced at everyone with a smile and said, "Looking at your age and your martial arts skills, you must be from a famous family."
She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, her movements elegant and graceful.
Since she came downstairs, her every frown, smile, and every move has attracted everyone's attention. Everything is so beautiful that no one can take their eyes off her.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "My master was a reclusive person, and he was not famous outside the world. Now that he has passed away, it's okay not to mention him. It is said that Miss Zhen'er's piano skills are unparalleled."
Xie Zhen'er chuckled lightly and nodded: "The little girl's piano skills are quite good. I'll play a few pieces later and let the gentleman give me some pointers."
Li Muchan shook his head and smiled: "I only have a superficial understanding of music."
Fang Huaizhi suddenly laughed and said, "Sir, do you still know how to play the piano?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "With a little knowledge, Third Master also knows how to play the piano?"
"I can listen but not play!" Fang Huaizhi scratched his head and blushed, but he was shy.
Li Muchan was amused. He didn't expect Fang Huaizhi to blush in front of a woman. It was very rare. He smiled and said, "It's hard to find a true friend. It would be great if you know how to listen."
Xie Zhen'er pursed her lips and smiled: "I haven't asked yet, who is this young master...?"
Li Muchan introduced everyone one by one. When he heard that they were the young masters of the Fang family and the younger brothers of Concubine Xue, Xie Zhen'er's face did not change and she didn't care at all.
She smiled and said: "I heard that the beauty of Concubine Xue is second to none in the harem and is rare in the world. It's a pity that I can't see her after hearing her name for a long time."
Fang Huaizhi said hurriedly: "If you want to see my eldest sister, it's easy. On the day of my grandmother's birthday, my eldest sister will come, so you can naturally meet her."
"Third brother!" Fang Huaiyi shouted with a frown.
Fang Huaizhi laughed and said: "Second brother, you are too careful. Miss Zhen'er will not harm the eldest sister, why are you so careful!"
Fang Huaiyi glared at him with a sullen face, showing a warning.
Concubine Xue's return home is extremely confidential news and cannot be disclosed to outsiders. Recently, people have been assassinating Concubine Xue. If you hear the news and interfere with your grandmother's birthday, it will be a sin.
Fang Huaizhi smiled carelessly.
Li Muchan shook his head, but these three young masters were both rough and subtle. This news couldn't be hidden from anyone, but telling it out only added a bit of glory and prestige.
*******************************
"Then I need to know something." Xie Zhen'er pursed her lips and smiled, glancing at Fang Huaiyi: "Does the second young master think that the little girl's identity is dirty and dislike me?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Miss Zhen'er, what are you talking about? Who doesn't know that Miss Zhen'er, you have emerged from the mud and are untainted, and your heart is as pure as a lotus. You can only admire me, how can you despise her?"
Fang Huaiyi shook his head and said: "Miss Zhen'er has misunderstood. Someone has been assassinating the eldest sister for a while. You must be careful in everything. It is not aimed at Miss Zhen'er."
"Then can I go see Concubine Xue?" Xie Zhen'er asked with a smile.
She speaks softly and lazily, with a touch of charm, but she is still gentle and has no earthly atmosphere at all, which makes people pity and move her.
Fang Huaizhi said hurriedly: "Welcome to you, I am sure my eldest sister will also like you, Miss Zhen'er."
Li Muchan shook his head and laughed secretly in his heart. They really didn't know their eldest sister's temper. With Yixue Fei's temper, they would never give her a good look when they met Xie Zhen'er.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the harmony was extremely harmonious. Xie Zhen'er did not look like a high-ranking courtesan, nor was she the stunning beauty she had imagined. Instead, she had the kindness and affection of an old friend.
This unique atmosphere is hard to come by. They neither feel oppressed nor sluggish. They all feel very comfortable, confident and comfortable.
At this moment, the round-faced girl came in gently, leaned into Xie Zhen'er's ear and said something.
Xie Zhen'er's face changed slightly, she frowned, shook her head and said, "Just say I'm not feeling well today, so I won't see him."
"People have already arrived outside." The round-faced girl wondered.
Xie Zhen'er snorted: "If you don't see me, you won't see me!"
"...Yes, miss." The round-faced girl reluctantly agreed, and Yingying went out.
Li Muchan looked down with his void eye and immediately saw the person standing in front of the Moon Gate. He frowned and realized how extraordinary this person was.
This is a tall and burly old man, dressed in brocade clothes, about fifty or sixty years old, but he is heroic and majestic, and he is obviously a high-ranking figure.
Looking at the guards around him, they were four eunuchs, standing in four directions to protect him.
Li Muchan secretly thought that to be able to use eunuchs as guards, he must be a noble person or a noble person of the emperor. Ordinary people would not be so lucky.
Moreover, the martial arts of these four eunuchs were amazing, no less than myself.
He saw the round-faced girl Yingying coming to the old man, speaking respectfully, repeating Xie Zhen'er's words, and not daring to look down at him.
The old man frowned, with a look of displeasure on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Is there someone inside?"
The round-faced girl lowered her head and said nothing, not denying it.
"Humph, how dare he meet outsiders!" the old man said in a deep voice with his hands behind his hands.
The round-faced girl didn't dare to move, just lowered her head.
"I want to see who can catch her eye!" The old man put his hands behind his hands and walked forward. The round-faced girl did not stop him and followed him into the Moon Gate.
*******************************************
The old man walked with his hands behind his back, his steps were heavy, and every step was full of momentum. Li Muchan observed secretly, and felt more and more that this man had extraordinary momentum and was not an ordinary person.
He quickly passed through the bamboo forest and reached the lake. He stood by the lake and called out: "Zhen'er!"
Xie Zhen'er's expression changed, she frowned, and said apologetically: "Mr. Li, gentlemen and seniors, this little lady is going to be rude. Let's go here first today."
Li Muchan nodded: "That's fine, it seems Miss Zhen'er has a guest."
Fang Huaizhi stood up and said loudly: "Miss Zhen'er, if you don't want to see him, there's no need to force him. I don't believe that man can force him!"
Although his martial arts was not strong, he heard the round-faced girl's words and knew that someone was coming to his door, but Xie Zhen'er did not want to see that person.
Fang Huaiyi hurriedly pulled him and gave him a fierce look.
Xie Zhen'er smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I just disturbed your interest. I'm really sorry. The young masters will come back another day and we can explain it carefully. I also want to see Mr. Li's unique skills."
Fang Huaizhi said: "Miss Zhen'er, who is that person?"
Xie Zhen'er smiled and said: "Three Young Masters, you don't have to pay attention to this irrelevant person. You go first and I'll send him away later."
"I want to meet this guy!" Fang Huaizhi snorted.
He was filled with jealousy, as if his woman were meeting another man. He was extremely uncomfortable. There was a feeling of depression swirling in his heart, and he wanted to vent it out.
Li Muchan said warmly: "Third Master, let's go first, so as not to embarrass Miss Zhen'er."
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Xie Zhener said with a smile.
As soon as her smile appeared, her face suddenly brightened, and the room seemed a little brighter.
However, Fang Huaizhi couldn't resist, and he became even more depressed. He said loudly: "I want to see who wants to drive us away. Mr. Li, what are you afraid of!"
Fang Huaiyi frowned and said: "Third brother, don't be stupid and leave quickly!"
He saw the look Li Muchan gave him and knew that this person was a troublesome person and should not be offended.
Fang Huaizhi said loudly: "Second brother, if I don't leave, I can't swallow this breath. Why should we leave when he comes? Why!"
"Third brother, do you insist on causing trouble?" Fang Huaiyi's face darkened and he said coldly: "Well, we won't come out with you next time!"
Fang Huaizhi held back his breath, unwilling to leave like this no matter what, and hummed: "If you don't follow, I won't follow. No matter what, I must face that guy today!"
**********************************************
Seeing that he was being stupid, Fang Huaiyi's face turned dark with anger. He stretched out his hand and clicked a few times. Fang Huaiyi froze immediately and could not move. He could only stare at him with wide eyes.
Fang Huaiyi snorted: "You can't help yourself!"
He grabbed Fang Huaizhi's collar and smiled apologetically at Jie Zhen'er: "Miss Zhen'er, my brother is a fool, don't be surprised."
Xie Zhen'er pursed her lips and smiled and said: "The third young master is so frank and frank. How can I be offended? Just come with me."
Just as she was about to lead everyone back, footsteps could be heard, and the old man had already stepped in. He slowly glanced at everyone and said calmly: "It turns out there are a few more. It's really strange... Zhen'er, why does the sun come out in the west today?"
.”
"Don't worry about it." Xie Zhen'er said calmly with a downcast face, then turned to smile at Li Muchan: "Mr. Li, let's go."
Li Muchan glanced at the old man and nodded in a friendly manner.
The old man looked at him calmly, shook his head and said: "I thought it was some young hero who could make you make an exception, Zhen'er. It turns out it was them. They really...disappointed me!"
Xie Zhen'er sneered and said: "Is there anyone in the world who can catch your eye? If you are not very busy, how can you have time to come here!"
The old man frowned and said, "Zhen'er, I told you not to see outsiders again!"
Xie Zhen'er snorted: "I can see you whenever I want. Who are you to me? Why should I listen to you!"
"Don't be ridiculous!" The old man frowned impatiently.
"I want to make nonsense!" Xie Zhen'er sneered and squinted at him: "I can see whoever I want to see, and I am still Xie Zhen'er now!"
Seeing the two people talking like this, everyone in the place felt uncomfortable. It was obvious that the two of them had a deep relationship and they must be a couple. Fang Huaizhi glared at the old man fiercely.
It's like a flower stuck in cow dung. Xie Zhen'er, such a stunning beauty, was taken over by this old man. It's such a waste of natural resources and a heinous crime!
Even Fang Huaiyi, who was not a womanizer, felt bad in his heart and looked a bit resentful. Only Li Muchan was smiling.
The old man's face darkened and he glanced at Xie Zhen'er. Xie Zhen'er stubbornly met his gaze without any intention of flinching.
She pursed her red lips tightly and stared at her eyes, showing a unique beauty.
The old man was furious, but when he saw Xie Zhen'er's appearance, he couldn't bear to get angry. He could only direct his anger elsewhere and glared at Li Muchan and the others.
Li Muchan secretly complained, and clasped his fists: "Senior, we just admire Miss Jie's name for a long time, and we came here because of her fame, so we won't bother you, and we say goodbye."
"Hmph, you want to leave?!" The old man said coldly with a sullen face: "How can it be so easy? Mr. Yang, break your legs and throw them out!"
"Yes." An old eunuch lowered his head and responded, then flashed in front of Li Muchan.
"Stop!" Xie Zhen'er shouted hurriedly.
The old eunuch ignored him and slapped Li Muchan with a light palm.
Li Muchan's face darkened, and his anger surged upwards. If it weren't for Fang Huaiyi and Fang Huaizhi, why would he have to compromise like this? Unexpectedly, he still couldn't avoid it!
"Okay! Okay!" He gave a long laugh, stretched out his palm to welcome her, and bumped into the old eunuch's hand.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and a strong wind suddenly rose in the room, and everyone was wearing clothes.
